The DonJoy Drytex Lateral "J" is one of DonJoy's most popular patella stabilising braces. It features a tubular, lateral "J" buttress that runs alongside the knee, providing support against lateral patellar subluxation, dislocation, or improper patellar tracking. The brace can be worn during day-to-day activities, sport, or in water. Drytex is DonJoy's exclusive solution for patients with neoprene sensitivities or those who prefer a cooler brace — constructed from a patented nylon core and polyester Lycra fabric, it improves airflow while still providing ample support and compression, making it ideal for warmer climates or neoprene allergies/irritations.
